HIGH SCHOOL
Our Desire
Students between the ages of 14 and 18 are learning to become more independent and are seeking to understand who they are as individuals and who God is in their lives. High School is a time when students can often question, seek counsel, and decide to make the faith of their parents, their own. In a world where students often find that counsel in music, social media, and their peers, we at CCA aim to provide a safe environment for those questions, and a loving and guiding hand in pointing our students to the only One who truly saves.
What Sets Us Apart
CCA teachers and staff are committed to partnering with parents to support our students both spiritually and academically. Students benefit from this partnership as we work together to develop our students’ critical thinking and reasoning skills. The ultimate objective of CCA's high school is to graduate students with a personal faith, a strong academic base, and a worldview grounded in the Scriptures that will enable them to live as God’s lights to the world, whatever career path they choose.
Where It All Began
“Over the years, CCA has shared a very symbiotic relationship with Covenant Christian School (CCS),” said CCA’s Head of School Tim Flay. “In addition to sharing academic insight and Christian education ministry vision, we have often shared information relative to resources, curriculum, policies, and procedures that help Christian education flourish in our county.”
Covenant Christian School has faced diverse challenges over the years, and in January of 2020 officially launched as an independent organization from Covenant Church. With the changes related to independence for CCS, leadership turned to research and financial modeling to find an economically viable option to house the Covenant Christian School. After extensive searching and discussion, senior leadership at both Covenant and Calvary believe embracing a merger of the two schools will strengthen each and preserve Christian high school education in Brevard County.
“While my heart is heavy that this is our final year on this campus, I am thankful that God’s work will continue and that we can preserve a Christian high school option while providing for our elementary students as well,” said CCS Head of School Shannon Schrope. “Also, I am personally thankful that this option will allow many of our faculty members to continue to teach and work in a Christian school environment. We are working together with the leadership team at CCA to bring over as many CCS teachers and staff as possible.”
With the merger, Calvary extends to a Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade Christian Academy. Beginning in January 2021, families and faculty from Covenant will have the opportunity to participate in the admissions and interview process into CCA. “Throughout the remainder of this school year, Calvary and Covenant look toward what God has in store as we forge a partnership and learn one another’s school cultures,” said Flay.
“We are excited about the new possibilities that this opens for our students including elementary sports, new upper school athletic options, new electives, and more,” said Schrope. “But much will feel familiar, with many of the teachers you have come to love. The CCA administration is excited to work with us and to understand and maintain some of what makes CCS such a special place to learn and grow.”
The leadership at both Covenant and Calvary are committed to preserving Covenant Christian School’s legacy and providing Christian education for the community.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CCA is working on developing our school course schedule for next year, but as we put together our plan, there are some essential aspects you should be aware of. All secondary students (5th through 12th grade) will have 8 courses per year. For high school, that means a student will have the opportunity to accumulate 32 credits on their final transcript, including 4 credits in Bible. Most public and private schools only attempt a total of 28 credits.
We are working to transition the DSP program so students from CCS who have already begun their coursework may continue, but CCA will be expanding honors, recognitions, and endorsements for students who look to excel academically or focus on a particular area of study as they prepare for collegiate acceptance and participation.
CCA is currently engaged in conversations with the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) and a variety of other sports affiliations in the state of Florida to be able to field a variety of athletic sports for boys and girls. We fully intend to offer all sports previously offered at CCS and CCA, as well as a few that will be new to both schools.
We are working with All Uniform Wear to provide uniforms for our entire school PreK-12. Our High School students' uniform policy is the new branded CCA-logo polos from All Uniform Wear in the colors royal blue, grey, black, and white, white oxfords, and our BSN apparel. Along with that are khaki bottoms from All Uniform Wear.
